The credits began to roll on the living room TV. Muku has long drifted off, laying his head on Azami's shoulder. He'd been too engrossed by the film to have noticed.
They had gone out most of the day. It's been a while since they had a date like this. Actually it's been a while since they have been able to spend time in each other's company. Somehow they had been too busy. Only enough time to give a small wave and a smile. Maybe a blown kiss from Muku that made Azami's heart flutter.
They haven't had their first kiss yet. A fact that made Azami turn red each time it was brought up. Mainly teased by Banri.
Muku's shifts in his sleep, pressing his body closer to Azami. Azami blushes at the act, glad most of Mankai was in bed, at least the ones he wouldn't want to see him in this position.
"Muku" he whispered.
"MuKU" a little louder this time.
"MUKU" The boy just snuggled more against him.
With a sigh Azami stretches to grab a blanket they had discarded a while ago and places it over his boyfriend
In truth he didn't mind being this close to him. Gave him time to take in his features more.
He admired the way his hair is a bit disheveled but still framed him in such an angelic way. How long and pretty his eyelashes are; knowing the eyes underneath are even prettier. His smooth skin that has become his favorite canvas to try all sorts of looks. And the way his lips formed a smile.
His lips
Soft and inviting
He'd stare at them more than he'd ever admit to anyone. Even himself.
With a hand he cupped the sleeping boy's cheek. His thumb caressing the skin underneath.
You can do this he reassures himself. Bringing the boy's face closer to his own.
"Azami?" Ah, of course he chooses to wake up now. With a panic lets go of him. Scooting further away to place some distance between them.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up"
Muku stared at him a bit in awe and he felt the urge to look away.
"Just thought you looked uncomfortable that way and only tried to move you" liar
"Oh I see..." Muku said in disappointment. Azami felt a pang in his heart.
"Well I'm awake now! Did you want to head to bed? I didn't keep you here long did I" worry graced his face and Azami hated that he made him worry about keeping up long. He'd spend the rest of his life next to him if he could, but that's a thought he'd rather think more about in the future.
"Oh well. No, not really. Actually I wouldn't mind if we both stayed like this a little longer" the worry melted like cotton candy and was replaced by something sweeter, a smile. Azami's heart raced again.
"Okay" Muku scooted closer to Azami as the younger boy stiffened at the contact. He couldn't help but chuckle at Azami's bashfulness. He had almost kissed him mere minutes ago. If only he had pretended to sleep longer.
He hooked his pinky with his and felt as Azami melted at his touch. Pulled him closer until Azami rested on his chest.
They sat like that for a while. With Muku holding him close, occasionally playing with a strand of hair or a lazy pat on the back. They wouldn't dream of doing something like this in front of others. Azami would have a fit if anyone were to walk in right now. Only moments like this should be reserved for them and only them to enjoy.
Their limbs entertained as they cuddled. The soft glow of the TV the only thing illuminating them. Time passed slowly until Muku heard the soft breathing of a sleeping Azami. Maybe one day they'll get their kiss. But in the meantime they are content.
